Sign in to Xbox Live, choose a social network from the list, press Link, then follow the prompts.

Select the Show icon on my profile checkbox for each account to let gamers know which social networks you’re on. Note that these icons can be seen by anyone using Xbox Game Bar, Xbox app (Beta), or in a game on Steam that supports account linking.

To link an account from a game purchased on Steam:

Open Steam and then launch a game that supports Xbox account linking (e.g. Gears 5).

Sign in to Xbox Live when prompted.

Select the account linking option in the game’s menu.

When the Steam account linking overlay appears, select Yes, continue.

Choose which friends you want to follow.

Troubleshooting

Account won’t link

Visit or contact the support website for the social network you’re trying to link.

Social network icons aren’t showing up

If you’ve selected the Show icon on my profile checkbox but the icon still isn’t displaying, sign out of Game Bar or Xbox app (Beta) then sign back in. If that doesn’t fix the problem, launch Task Manager, choose the app that’s running (Game Bar or Xbox app), select End task, then restart the app.
